My EID linked to cousin's bounced checks, travel ban issued. What to do?
Dear Sir/Madam,
My cousin sister asked me to use my EID to set up water and electricity for her apartment in Sharjah in 2018 for two months while her ID was being renewed.
She called me in 2019 to cancel the water and electricity. The apartment management assured me that the checks and everything would be under my cousin's name, and that's how it was for the past 5 years.
My cousin had bounced checks, and since the apartment management knew about the agreement, nothing was done on my behalf.
New management took over this year and placed a travel ban on me for failing to pay my rent, even though I have never lived in that apartment in Sharjah.
For the past few years, I have been living in company accommodation.
How can I get justice since I have a travel ban?

Dear Questioner,
You can file a complaint with the Sharjah Rental Dispute Centre (SRDC) and provide the SRDC with evidence to support your claim including the cheques that your cousin bounced, agreements, etc.
Moreover, it will be better if you hire a lawyer for these proceedings.
Your travel ban can be lifted once the issue is sorted out.
